Tsao Foundation 20th Anniversary Video (4.41’)

Catch a glimpse of how the Tsao Foundation has been contributing to the transformation of the ageing experience since its inception in 1993. Produced in November 2013, this short video portrays our dedication to the older persons we serve, and the innovation, practice excellence and constructive change that distinguish our efforts.

Hua Mei EPICC (Elder-centred Programme of Integrated Comprehensive Care) was launched on 12 April 2013 to enable nursing home eligible, frail elders to age at optimal health in the community. Participants attend a day club programme and receive a package of services customised to their individual needs. EPICC is a programme started in 2011 and launched in 2013. Elders with no caregivers at home spend 6 hours each programme day at the centre, and receive medical care and physiotherapy, engage in stimulating activities, and find social support. They also have 24-hour medical emergency coverage, and home-help when there are no alternatives.

Invited again to present the Tsao Ng Yu Shun Lecture - the Foundation's flagship series on the future of ageing - Prof Ursula Staudinger gives a powerful, evidence-based argument for discarding negative stereotypes of older persons, and for acknowledging and promoting the different types of productivity by which they contribute and make a difference to our lives.

The video recording of the lecture is available for your viewing here. For copyright reasons, please do not download, copy or reproduce it.
